I had this delivered and thought it was decent overall. I ordered the lobster chopped cheese just to try it--it was interesting and tasted a bit like a grilled cheese with lobster. I expected it to be much larger, but it was still a fun item to try. I also liked the plain mac and cheese on the side. The crab empanada was okay, though a little dry for my taste and slightly too salty. Aside from that, I'm glad I gave the place a try. The bowl with chicken, mashed potatoes, and broccoli was good. My boyfriend mentioned that the fried lobster bites and the two sides he ordered were also on the salty side. Overall, it's a good spot to try, but they could go lighter on the salt. The value was fair--some items had more meat for the price than others, but it was still decent. read more

Food- Didn't love the grits, very watery. Not the best mac n cheese. Many other options are avail. The oxtail are decent, the oxtail empanada is THE BOMB! The salmon empanada is good and the fried fish is a yes!!! Service- Service is cool, no seating just takeout. Order, pay, and they fix your plate thereafter. Ambiance - Lots of specials and I love that for the hood. A lot of spots were there before them and I hope they stay awhile. Overall a thumb up and yes I would recommend and return! read more

Ordered delivery for lunch again. This time I tried the Turkey Wing (singular) with mashed potatoes, collard greens and a side of sweet plantains. Everything was well seasoned and tasty. You can tell a lot about a place by how good the collard greens are, and these were excellent. The plantains were firm yet sweet. I would have liked the wing to be cooked more so that the fat was more rendered and the meat more easily pulled off the bone. It was actually a bit tough cutting it with plastic utensils. Otherwise, I enjoyed it. One thing I'll say about this place is you're not gonna get unseasoned food here! This is real soul food, and whoever is back there is "putting their foot in it" as the saying goes. In other words, they're culinarily gifted! read more

Yelp Review - Brooklyn Chckn 'N' Lbstr (Brownsville, Brooklyn, NY) If you're ever in Brownsville and craving soul food that hits every spot, you must stop by Brooklyn Chckn 'N' Lbstr! This place may be small inside with a takeout-only setup, but the menu is BIG -- and packed with flavor. I'm a seafood lover, but this time I went with my son and we both couldn't resist the oxtails -- and they did not disappoint. We ordered oxtails with macaroni and cheese, oxtail empanadas, and even oxtail mac & cheese empanadas! Yes, they went there -- and it was all amazing. The mac and cheese was creamy and flavorful, and every bite of the oxtail was perfectly seasoned and tender. My son also ordered the oxtail chopped cheese sandwich and it was out of this world! Juicy, flavorful, and absolutely addictive. A must-try item on the menu! We also tried their house juices -- I got the mango, and my son had the lemonade. Both were super refreshing. To top it all off, I had their banana pudding for dessert, and I have to say, it was top tier. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and well-prepared. 10/10. Brooklyn Chckn 'N' Lbstr is officially on my go-to list for soul food in Brooklyn! read more

The place is really a hole in the wall. The employees were loud and not professional at all. They were dancing and singing and using the N word. Not sure who the owner is but the employees are not a good representative of ur business. Now to the food. The waffle was good. The lobster bites are lobster's cousin just horrible. The fish was not fresh. Needless to say this was my first and last time. read more

Yoooooo, I absolutely love this soul food spot . I was searching on TikTok for soul food in Brooklyn and craving some oxtail Rasta pasta. LAWD!!! When I tell you.... I can't wait to return to try other dishes . I ordered the oxtail Rasta pasta and two oxtail and Mac & cheese empanadas . 10 stars hands down !!! The customer service was pleasant and the front person preparing the food had a welcome spirit and sense humor about herself. My observation is, she loves making sure her customers are satisfied . I forget her name but I'll return soon . Now this is not establishment to dine inside ... you ordered, wait for your food to be prepared and enjoy . I can see myself packing a picnic lunch with the dishes or having this establishment cater a holiday party full of soul food . I'm a foodie and Brooklyn Chckn N Lbstr did wonders to my soul read more

Had the oxtail, Mac and cheese, and yams! Mac and cheese was the star of the show. Oxtails were mostly tender but I did have a piece that was tough and couldn't get the meat off. Aunt had the fried fish sandwich. She said it was a little too salty for her liking. Cuzo had the fried chicken pieces and fries. His fried chicken was saltier than the fish. Fries were delicious tho! read more

The chicken is too spicy but has no flavor. And I didn't like the flavoring of the mac and cheese.

Ordered food through grubhub. The salmon and catfish are sold with sides but my order had no sides. This was my first time eating their food. I ordered from this restaurant based on a few good reviews on instagram. I found the food to be mediocre. The service is obviously subpar based on my food delivery. Very disappointed by my experience. read more

Day 1, I bought wings with a side of mac and cheese and sweet potato. It was delicious and savory. I also had a watermelon-lime drink that was a bit too sweet for me but once I added ice it was magnificent. Day 2, I bought wings again and mac and cheese. The second day's meal was better than day 1; Dont get me wrong both days the food was delicious and great but somehow day 2 tasted as if someone's Mama was in the kitchen making the food with pure love and affection. In a neighborhood that doesn't have many fresh, home-cooked meal options. I am glad to have found this place. The staff was welcoming and offered conversations while preparing the food. Its a simple location but it was clean and the food was covered while in the buffet. read more

I live in Albany New York and saw a post on Instagram and then on TikTok 1 week later about this restaurant, so of course I drove to Brooklyn because i had to try it out. OMG IT WAS DELICIOUS I purchased 2 meals... I definitely had to get a meal to bring back home in my cooler lol. Oxtails and Rasta pasta and fried chicken wings with cabbage and Rasta pasta. We will be returning again before the summer ends with a few more friends. read more

This a great spot if you're looking for great taste. Everything I tried was delicious and the staff was friendly. They give you a good portion of food for the price you pay! Highly recommend it!!! read more

The food was completely inedible. I ordered the jumbo lump crab cakes that were actually 2 flat pancake looking fish cakes. EXTREMELY SALTY!!! The seafood Mac wasn't so bad but the amount of salt in the food was the ultimate turn off. This place could do better. I will not be ordering from here again. read more

Me and my family love the variety of meals they serve , always have an amazing taste as well as experience everytime I step foot in here ! Purp is great at their job and is extremely helpful when giving suggestions or clear descriptions on meals; such a pleasant spot all the stars should be given ! read more

not sure what pictures I'm seeing but the order I just received doesn't match them up at all. I ordered a whiting fish sandwich, rice and peas and fries. the whiting fish sandwich comes on what seems to be wonder white bread and I got NO ketchup or tartar whatsoever. was I supposed to ask for it or is not common sense to think to put sauce in the customers bag? this isn't worth the money and the portions are NOT large. again, I'm questioning whether these images are legit... no ketchup or tartar and fish on dry ass bread is crazy. guess I'll have to raw dog my meal and not order from this place again. read more

Ordered wings and Rasta pasta. The wings looked nothing like the picture. They was supposed to be buffalo wings but they lacked any type of taste. The wings were lukewarm and this was a carry out. The vegetable rasta pasta was lacking flavor also. I would not recommend this place. read more

I love everything about their food. Love their Mac N Cheese and the Rasta Pasta and the Yams and the Corn Bread and omg The Jerk Chicken is amazing! Yummy! I'm team Brooklyn Chckn N Lbstr read more

Didn't like the food at all. Oxtail empanada had nothing but chunks of fat. Jumbo fried shrimp were salty and the batter felt gritty. The fries also seemed stale. The young lady at the register was pleasant but the energy from the other staff members could be better. Overall I didn't enjoy it at all and wouldn't consider trying them out again. read more

The salmon Rasta pasta is really bad. Don't get it. It was extremely over cooked and couldn't taste the honey glazed I requested on it. The oxtail was very good. The Rasta pasta itself was OK. I would only go back for the oxtail alone. read more

The service was super slow! and the ladies at the register, especially the one with the bun was super rude. taking an order was like an inconvenience to them. I asked if she had ketchup package.
